Dear Nina,
Finally a day when we didn't have to stay home all day! Today my mom forced us to go to an place where they auction things. I've never been to one, so I was acually eager to go instead of staying home all day gain. It was really fun! It's not like the auctioning I thought it was, it was like different. So first you need to buy some numbers for $1 (we got 181, 72, 6, 159, 120, and 68). And then you need to exchange your money for quarters (we got $45 worth of quarters). And then you start bidding! First they show you the prize and it's original price (mostly things that costs $100). And then they tell you how much you need to give them to bid (1-4 quarters). To bid you need to pick one or two, depends on how much money you bidded, of your numbers. For example, if the item is 2 quarters, and you want to use 2 numbers (which gives you a better chance of winning), you need to give them 4 quarters (depends on the number of numbers your going to use). So when you pick your numbers, you raise it in the air, and see if you get called on. Sorry, I'm a bad explainer. Anyways, my family won $10, some kitchen tools, a bear, and a heart necklace. At first, we won the $10 with the number 181. We didn't win anything else until my mom won the kitchen tools (wow we were excited, and she really wanted them too, what a coincidence), with number 159. The bear was won when my brother picked 181 too (it was weird because when the guy said "And the first number is..." I mumbled to myself, "181" and he said "181!"). And the necklace was won with number 72 (everyone wanted it, AND I GOT IT). Yes, that was fun.
I submitted two cards today! I was just surfing TheOtaku and stumbled upon sparkle 078's friends...T^T card. And I read that it might be his last card on here forever! He was basically like the best card maker on TheOtaku, and he's going to stop making them! NOOOOO! He was my inspiration too for making two, I repeat TWO, cards today. Well, hope you get your inspiration back soon, sparkle-san! The first card I made is a "Halloween" Card:
CUTE ISN'T IT? But I was going to show you these cards tomorrow because it says it takes like 24 hours for it to be approved and I didn't want to spoil it. But it only took 1 hour for it to be approved and be on a category. It's wierd cause I didn't know what category it was because I didn't know which Anime it is (so I just put Personal), and then after it was approved, it said it was Card Captor Sakura. So I checked on Google, and it was Card Captor Sakura! I didn't know someone took the time to look at all the cards submitted one by one, and really put it on a category if it's not correct. Anyhow, my second card is a "Goodbye" Card. It hasn't been accepted yet though. HA, YOU'LL HAVE TAH WAIT TILL TOMORROW!
Here's something to talk about: I NEED TO STOP SAYING "ANYWAYS" AND "WELL"! I really do, it's a big habit. I also need to stop saying "Anyhoo" and "of course". I need to stop saying "but" and "and" in the beginning of a sentence too! It doesn't even make sense! I already used "of couse" in both of my cards already! But (there I go again) it's really hard for me to not type a sentence like that. But (UGH) I'll try. I'll start today, er, tomorrow, nah, maybe next week... FINE! Tomorrow it is, I guess.
